- Features and Benefits
- Suitable for both mechanical and hand mixing processes.
- Exhibits excellent wetting of filler particles to achieve the required filler loadings.
- Suitable to cast fine detailed small castings, which will have excellent dimensional stability.
- Finished castings have excellent painting and staining properties.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Formulation Guidelines
- Crystic 911PA should be allowed to attain workshop temperature (18°C - 20°C) before use. The recommended catalyst is Butanox M50 which should be added at 2% based on the resin content.
- Products made with Crystic 911PA are generally filled with different grades of powdered filler (e.g. calcium carbonate), typically 50% by weight.
- Pigment pastes can be mixed with Crystic 911PA, when a specific color is required.
- Recommended Applications
Crystic 911PA has been developed specifically for the casting of small detailed castings, including collectables and figurines.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
Crystic® 911PA is supplied in 25Kg, 225Kg and 1 ton containers.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Crystic® 911PA should be stored in the dark in suitable closed containers. It is recommended that the storage temperature should be less than 20°C where practical but should not exceed 30°C. Ideally containers should be opened only immediately prior to use.
